Before we start to analyze
facts and results in this report, let me Congrats to Gautam Ghosh on topping
the list! Congratulations to others in the list too!

And
I am not taking it seriously as Gautam suggests on his LinkedIn update, while
not losing an opportunity to do self-publicity. What I find weird in the list
is someone ranks here with just 1% re-tweet and follower ratio of 3.5. While
the best rates on these counts in the list are 75% and 140.45.

SOCIAL
AUTHORITY SCORES DECIDE YOUR RANK IN THIS LIST. SOCIAL AUTHORITY SCORES range
from 67 to 53. Gautam Ghosh at 67 while Harlina and Shamik are at 53.

Now
what is social authority as per moz.com, whose tool followerwonk has been used by GrowthInspire for this report?

Social
Authority helps you find, optimize, and engage your Twitter audience. It's a 1
to 100 point scale that measures a user's influential content on Twitter. More
than just another self-focused metric, Social Authority helps you discover
influential tweeters.

Well,
2 things can be interpreted from here: One, most of top 25 HR influencers lie
in the middle of this 1 to 100 point scale. Nearly at the median, which means,
AVERAGE on influence? Can we not, therefore, call them, ‘mediocre’ influencers?

Two,
re-tweet number matters as that tells how much likes you got for influencing. The
average re-tweet percentage in this list if 25%. Now having said that and
having understood that influence can be largely and credibly decided by re-tweets
as that signifies the relevance, quality of content and influence or image of
the influencer! As said, the best re-tweet rate is 75% in the list and the
worst is 1%. average 25%.

Now
having said that, HOW CAN SOMEONE WITH JUST 1% RE-TWEET EVER BE CALLED
INFLUENCER? RIDICULOUS, RIGHT? For details, check the table below-I have
deliberately not put names in the list but, you can find from the link, if you
want to. My idea is not to comment on individuals but verify the methodology
and rationale for this list and rankings of people here.

NOW
LOOK AT TABLE 2- In this table I added another metric for being an influence, which
I call, Follower Acquisition rate. That is, how fast you influenced and
acquired more followers and at what rate. Formula-(Total Number of
Followers/Total number of Days on Twitter)%.

Best
rate is 6%, average is 2 and the lowest Acquision rate is just 1%.And you will
notice here that the influencer who has just 1% re-tweets, has follower
acquisition rate of 1.49%, which keeps him with the bottom 4 in the list on the
rate of follower acquisition. Again, how can he be a top HR influencer on
twitter, as published? Remember, 2% is average, 1.49 is below average, right? I
know you will have people below average in any scale taken but that is not
alone, this guy is just 1% re-tweeted as well.

Also,
not that following my metric of follower acquisition rate, the guy at rank 1
has the highest follower acquisition rate, which is 6%.

Now
look at the twitter statistics of the agency that prepared this report. Their

The Hay Group Total Reward FrameworkA new way of understanding rewardReward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions.

The issueRemuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] .The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with non-financial rewards …

TV Rao's article in TOI Ascent, Feb 13, had some interesting discussion on 5 levels of HR Managers, based on what they do. I just created my own metrics and placed my descriptions in columns called, "Level of work", Hierarchy level' and "Action proposed". I urge you to look at the Level 5 Definition of Jim Collins and check what is missing at all the levels of HR of TV Rao is, "Leadership". Things will be very different if Leadership is added at all the levels.

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework
The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives!
Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking!
